[It's a gruesome scene: a person, shuddering uncontrollably and on the verge of death while hooked up to a strange machine. Rita hovers nearby and is lacking any kind of care for her failing and whimpering subject.]
Stop whining, already. It's not like the pain's going to stop. Ah-
[The blastia core she's fiddling with emits a bright burst of light; simultaneously, the human battery spasms violently, coughs foamy blood, then goes still. The light persists for a few seconds before it, too, fades. Rita doesn't even blink, a curious gleam in her eyes.]
Hm, that wasn't bad--Subject number 0027 lasted 36 hours with output increased by 13 percent. Shortening the duration definitely gives an increase in power, just as expected. Possible relationship to subject age; should run tests on subjects under 10 years.
[She distractedly mutters the conclusion to the device, then nods to herself.]
Time to dispose of this thing and start on the next one.

You're way overdue for maintenance, Schwann. I suggest you come by at some point if you know what's good for you.
[ooc: Hella cursed with the years that never were, Rita is an AU version in the Royal Guard and very much Alexei's creepy protégé. Yes, she just killed that random person in an experiment and is planning on doing more. IDK if she has Natalia kidnapped yet or not--leaving that up to Jane~ Anyone feel free to action/stare/get kidnapped/put her out of business.]
